Wild Foods of Arizona IE suggestions for more food

[Felix D'Luxe]

Saguaro Fruit (the cactus is already an in game asset easy to add the fruit as a drop)
Prickly Pear Fruit (similar to ^ that asset is in the game could even recolor current plant)
Nopales (prickly pear cactus again)
Mesquite Trees (they drop beans everywhere and are edible and can be dried to make gluten free flower)
Wild Onion
Citrus
Pecan
Chili Pepper
Tomato
Melon
Pine Seed (already in game craft them into pine nuts)
Oak Seed (already in game craft them into acorns if you soak acorns till their tannins come out theyre tasty when roasted)
Blue Spruce (the trees in the winter biome could drop something you can make teas and other drinks out of also seasoning)

Sounds like a good prospect for a mod.

Come on, guys. TFP can't put a virtual representation of everything that is edible or available in the real world into the game. They're not trying to re-create the real world in 1s and 0s as transhumanists appear to be. It's obviously not even possible. They're producing a video game.

There are quite enough foods and recipes in the game already, imo. I think it's hilarious FO76 now has a player icon called Soup Chef because most people don't even bother with all those food recipes, even the ones that provide a decent buff for a time. Nope. They've got plenty of corn soup, just like the diets of the avatars of most 7 Days players consists of bacon and eggs. Hilarious.

Maybe a mod author will pick up on the desire for "realism".

I appreciate you’ve A) done your research and B) are thinking about how to leverage what’s already in the game, OP. One concern I’d have is inventory clutter. Already, the different foods and seeds I get when looting take up a frustrating number of inventory slots compared to other items. More types of food would worsen this. So for this change to hypothetically get traction, one might need to justify removing some of the existing food items.
